The contemporary advances in technology have been affecting the societies in many different aspects. There is no doubt that one very intensely affected side of social structure is education. There is a growing interest in online classroom settings in second language teaching. Using Web 2.0 tools to have students create their own settings of learning provides several opportunities for the teacher and the learner. In this study, the core objective is to set an online classroom activity to the students and assess their beliefs and approaches towards vocabulary learning through this newly set content.
